I actually got up nice & early to get some shots of us arriving at Isle of Pines. Its situated 80 kms south-east of Noumea & is part of the French-Pacific territory, New Caledonia. For more information click here http://www.isle-of-pines.com/welcome.html. 
Ali & I sampled the hungi food that was put together gratis by the islanders. It was quite delicious. We only tried the vegetables in some sort of coconut sauce served on woven palm fronds with a banana leaf plate & a bambooish skewer to eat it with. Simple yet very effective!
We were told this rock was sacred & not to be climbed by anyone but snorkling around it was ok. 
The locals known as the Kunie people also put on some dances. We didn't actually stop & watch but caught glimpses of other people from the boat having an enjoyable time & getting involved.
This fence belonged to a resort...I just loved the simplicity of it.
Aunty Janny & Kerrie enjoy a dip in the refreshing crystal clear waters.
Araucaria Pines are actually not pines despite the name & grow to a height of 50 - 65 metres.
